Such a trash take. Dudes been a fan since the 70s.

The catch? Romo fumble? Green Bay in the playoffs?
I can think of many more losses that were a lot worse than losing to an AFC team during the middle of a season without your two top wide receivers or best defensive line pass rusher.
If assess the game based on just the occurrences in the game and don't take into account the overall impact of the L on the season, I can see his point. This was an incredibly frustrating and embarrassing game on multiple fronts.

This loss was nothing. If we were healthy it would have been bad. This is an injury ravaged team and at least our star QB played like a stud despite missing Cooper and Lamb. The Oline appears to be rounding back into form.

Skip is not a fan.

The 9ers game where they were hailed as the greatest of ever after the Catch, which was actually the fumble by Danny White ranks in the top three. The Ice Bowl surely is in the top three. The Stealers Super Bowl where Jackie Smith dropped a sure touchdown (I have never blamed him for that loss) is in the top three.

Skip Bayless couldn't find his rectum with a road map and a tour guide.

This game barely impacted my views on the season where as the Broncos loss, while still not "gut-wrenching" was a lot worse than the loss yesterday because the Cowboys had Lamb and Cooper and were still dominated.

Other than another loss overall and further hurting chances for home field advantage, these AFC games just do not mean as much to me as NFC games.

I hate to see the Cowboys lose any games, but if they have to lose some I would rather it be to AFC teams.

Trash take that it’s the most gut wrenching but his analysis of the game is spot on and he’s right to feel the way he does because like Skip this should’ve been a championship caliber team but they have given it all away and Dak is back to being a C grade QB.

We all feel the pain. I just think it would’ve hurt worse with a full deck of players

It doesn't hurt if you expect it, Skip.

How can you be so old without any of the wisdom that comes with it? The dude has watched the Cowboys for the past 25 years and expected THIS team to be different?

The Raiders are in a much much worse situation than us and they overcame it.
How are they much worse? Outside of a couple lineman who else are they missing? This is an honest question not being an ***

Bayless must not have been following the team during the 1981 NFC title loss. Or any of the Super Bowl losses for that matter. The loss yesterday doesn’t even compare to those.

I've never seen Skip like this. Dude's blood was boiling during this segment.



These guys are sooo stupid. Not once do they mention injuries. LOL

This is NOT the same Cowboys team that went 6-1. Half the guy are out.

And then they insinuate that its Dak's fault we lose because Zeke cant run for 100 yards. LOL

Are you serious?

Have you followed the Raiders at all? Like seriously I’m not going to lay all of their problems out for you.

Dallas had a better team than them yesterday and that’s with all of our injuries plus we were at home.

We had a better team on a neutral field and still lost.
